in reply to The last time I used a dial-up modem was...

For my personal projects, I am using 2Mb residential ADSL. For work, I do application support, and am on a callout rota, which needs me to dial in with a company laptop, using a 56K modem. These days, this doesn't happen very often - partly thanks to my perl monitoring scripts which have gotten the application quite stable :).

I also help non-techie friends with their computer problems, for my sins. Several of these use dial-up.
